I was warned of this very event in a dream more than a year before it happened.

I was praying about what would be the sign that would prompt me to leave America. Revelation says, “Come out of her my people, lest you suffer with her for her iniquities.”

Following this, the dream warned, there would be a missile attack on Japan. Then an angel’s voice said, “When Japan folds to China, that will be your warning.”

However, as the two women were captured dressed as Korean refugees, it is likely they did cross the border.

The most interesting thing in the above article is this: the mention that the ladies could have been betrayed into capture. Would Al Gore’s cronies sell out two young women in order to create international outrage, and assist in creating public sentiment against N. Korea?

If true, DISGUSTING!

As for the clip in the North Korean propaganda building, the woman is obviously lying about knowing nothing about the two detained Americans. This brings into question her accusations about the two downed American pilots. It’s probably just a Korean War photo. North Koreans have been known to be pathologic liars; there is no need for a firm foundation in ethics when one’s religion is Kim Il-sung the divine.

Jim Butterworth: “…it is commonly believed that there are hundreds of North Korean agents who actually had infiltrated the Chinese side, which is almost entirely ethnic Korean .”

Anderson Cooper: “Why would they do that?”

Butterworth: “To capture not only refugees that had escaped into China… In fact there is a bounty paid to Chinese citizens that would turn in North Korean refugees but the bounty is actually 10 times that if they would turn in the activists that would help them or anyone that would assist them.”

Mike Kim; “… North Korea will send spies posing as refugees to infiltrate networks and as a result there have been people abducted… and it really threatens the work of NGO’s there.”

Spelunker: “So then it’s not unreasonable to assume that the ethnic Korean citizen of China that led Current TV’s crew to the Tumen River border on the morning of their departure from Yanji to Dandong could have been acting on an extremely high bounty after tipping off Pyongyang spies that 3 US passport holding journalists were in Yanji interviewing North Korean refugees.”

This is from Seattle blogger Robert Blevins of Adventure Books and his opinion published on Newsvine:

Witnesses and reports in South Korean media tell a different story. According to local sources, Laura Ling, Euna Lee, along with a local guide and cameraman Mitch Koss were attempting to cross the frozen Tumen river when they were accosted by border guards. Mitch Koss and the guide shoved the North Korean soldiers and fled back into China. Both men were later arrested by Chinese border guards near the town of Yanji and are being held in an undisclosed location. The two women were caught by the North Korean soldiers.

There is a photo of one of the Tumen River bridges here as well!

This is from USA Today’a article back on March 22:

“The journalists and cameraman Mitch Koss were following their guide across the frozen Tumen River early Tuesday morning when North Korean soldiers armed with rifles approached them from a half-hidden guard post, the South Korean Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Saturday. It cited activists working with North Korean refugees in China and other unidentified sources.

Koss and the guide pushed the North Korean soldiers away and ran back toward China, but Ling and Lee were caught, the newspaper said, citing an unidentified source.

Koss and the guide were later seized by Chinese border guards and sent to the Chinese Public Security Bureau, the newspaper said. Their whereabouts remain unclear.”

There is another amusing tidbit in the USA Today article from Reverend Chun Ki Won about the purpose of Current TV’s trip to Yanji, “where they planned to interview women forced by human traffickers to strip for online customers”

In this Seattle Times article on March 20, Reverend Chun says Koss got away at the last minute:

“They were detained that day, along with their guide, Chun said, citing sources he refused to name. He said it was unclear whether they were seized in North Korean or Chinese territory.

He said his sources told him that Koss, a cameraman, escaped arrest “at the last minute.” He said he did not know where Koss was.”

This is from RushPR News on June 4:

“Lee and Ling were taken by border police at a bridge crossing over the Tumen River, which forms part of the border between North Korea and China. Mitchell Koss, executive producer of Current TV’s Vanguard Journalism reporting unit, and a driver were working with them but were not taken.”

Here is another interesting website that mentions Mitch Koss and the Tumen River incident:

Scroll down to the satellite image of the Korean peninsula for some pretty good insight on the Tumen River area as well as commentary on Mitch Koss.
